1409 Not Only Do We Know Each Other, But We’re Also Married
Suddenly, someone said in confusion, “I heard that the Li family obtained a total of five invitations! In that case, does Li Xing’er also know how to restore cultural relics?”
“There are indeed five invitations, but none of them are for Li Xing’er. Her invitation was meant for her brother. Speaking of which, only Li Xing’er didn’t receive an invitation out of everyone else in the Li family. The Li family is a scholarly family. They’ve been studying cultural relics since their ancestors. They’re proficient in the four arts. But only Li Xing’er… Tsk tsk.”
“Miss He is the real daughter of a scholarly family. She has such achievements at such a young age. She relied on her identity to bring her family to attend the event, but Li Xing’er still has to rely on her parents to enter the event venue. This is the difference!”
He Wenxian heard everyone’s discussion and smiled in embarrassment, but a trace of pride flashed past her eyes.
Li Xing’er was so angry that her face turned red. She suppressed the anger in her heart. After all, this was the venue of the cultural relic restoration event, and He Wenxian was the respected Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. If she lost her temper in public, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for the Li family?
If it were not for her family’s image, she would have rushed over and beaten He Wenxian up!
Gu Yao was right. He Wenxian was a scheming b*tch. She pretended to be the perfect socialite but deliberately talked to her to let everyone laugh at her. Stepping on others to praise oneself was not something that the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor would do!
Seeing Li Xing’er glaring at her angrily, He Wenxian did not continue chatting. Instead, she said respectfully, “Old Master Li, may I ask you to evaluate this painting?”
Old Master Li glanced at his angry granddaughter and glanced at He Wenxian sharply.
However, He Wenxian was someone He Weinian had personally trained. Even when she met Old Master Li’s sharp gaze, she was not afraid at all.
After a moment of silence, Old Master Li slowly said, “The most important thing is to restore it. The requirement for the paint and strokes is very strict. The restoration method of this painting is different from ordinary people, but it’s perfectly done. It’s enough to show that the restoration method is very brilliant.”
The steps to restore ancient paintings were very complicated, so sometimes, restorers needed to spend a year or longer to restore a painting. This kind of work was boring and tested one’s patience.
In Old Master Li’s opinion, although this ancient painting had not been completely restored, it was already top-notch. It was indeed worthy of the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor’s reputation.
It was true that he did not like He Wenxian, but he had to be objective when evaluating ancient paintings. Hence, he spoke truthfully.
“It must have taken a lot of effort to restore this painting. Try your best to restore every inch of the painting. It’s really rare for one to have such patience and skills at such a young age.”
He Wenxian instantly beamed.
Qiao Xi, who was at the side, was very happy when she heard Old Master Li’s evaluation. Old Master Li did not know that she was the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, so the evaluation he gave was objective. It meant that her restoration skills were indeed very superb.
Since she had already heard the praises, it was time for her to go on stage.
Qiao Xi stood up and walked toward the crowd. Song Shiyu leaned over to Gu Zheng’s ear and said softly, “President, it’s time for you to perform. Aren’t you going to take a look?”
Gu Zheng looked up at him and smiled meaningfully. Then, he stood up and walked to the other side.
Song Shiyu was stunned.
Had the president come to the wrong place?
Gu Zheng went straight to the person in charge’s office and spoke to the person inside. The other party looked surprised. “Mr. Gu, you… You want to organize a competition at the last minute?
“This…” The person in charge was in a dilemma.
Gu Zheng’s eyes were calm as he said casually, “I heard that the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor only used a month to restore that incomplete copy of Autumn Leaves. With such superb skills, it’s time for everyone to broaden their horizons. It should also be filmed for the documentary.”
When the other party heard Gu Zheng’s words, his eyes instantly widened. He asked excitedly, “Mr. Gu, do you know the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor?”
“Of course.” Gu Zheng smiled meaningfully.
Not only did he know her, but he was also married to her.
At Gu Zheng’s request, the organizers agreed to organize the competition. Gu Zheng immediately made a call. The other party was a little slow to pick up, but Gu Zheng was not impatient at all. His tone was gentle. “Mr. Wu, I want to ask you for a favor.”
Mr. Wu was stunned for a moment before realizing who was on the other end of the phone. He shouted excitedly, “Twilight! You actually called me! I thought you had forgotten about me a long time ago! If you have anything to say, just say it. I’ll definitely help if I can!”
